Meth & Other Drugs
It is not safe to take drugs at any time while you are pregnant. Using meth when you are pregnant can cause your baby to have a stroke or brain damage before it's born, be premature, have a low birthweight, or cause your baby to be born with birth defects. Your baby may have difficulty with gaining weight and is at risk for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
